Something happened yesterday, sorry June 23, 17:30.
While the fighters of both sides were fighting in the sky in tacit agreement, the tanks on the ground were already fighting in a mass.
Not counting the previous small-scale firefights between the scouts from both sides, the largest armored battle since the First World War officially kicked off three minutes ago.
The 1st Armored Battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Chinese 118th Armored Division, which was the vanguard, collided head-on with the 4th Armored Battalion of the East African 1st Armored Division, which was also the vanguard.
The steel behemoths on both sides didn't say much and just started killing each other.
This is a showdown between steel and fire.
Although both sides are battalion-level units, their establishments are very different.
China's armored battalion consists of three armored companies with a total of 30 tanks, plus five directly under the battalion headquarters, for a total of 35 tanks.
East Africa adopts a German-style organization.
One of their armored battalions has five companies of 80 tanks, plus 18 tanks directly under the battalion headquarters.
The number of tanks is as many as 98, which is more than a Chinese armored regiment.
In a quantitative comparison like this, Germany, oh, no, East Africa should have the upper hand.
But the current situation is exactly the opposite.
The 4th Armored Battalion in East Africa was beaten to a pulp by an opponent with only one-third the number.
A Chinese "Giant Panda" tank numbered 27930 suddenly rushed out of a rock.
The surging power provided by the 1,200-kilowatt gas turbine is converted into electrical energy through the generator, and then input into the two 600-kilowatt high-torque motors on both sides through the voltage regulation and transformation system.
The electric motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the driving wheel drives the track to move rapidly.
It is as nimble as a light off-road vehicle, and it is completely invisible that it is a main battle vehicle with a total weight of up to 45 tons.
"Target determined and ready to shoot," platoon leader and vehicle commander Wen Zecheng stared at the target on the screen and ordered loudly.
The fierce battle caused his adrenal glands to secrete rapidly, and his body functions and reactions were raised to the extreme.
Just now, his crew had destroyed a Leopard.
This result made his emotions soaring, and he was determined to achieve more results.
Accompanied by the sizzling sound of electricity, the automatic loader sent a fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing round into the gun bore, and the gun bolt closed with a click.
At the same time, the fire control computer has completed the calculation of firing parameters through the laser rangefinder.
With the help of the two-way stabilization device, even if the "Giant Panda" maneuvers at a speed of 60 kilometers, it still points steadily to the target.
The moment the tank crossed a small dirt patch and regained stability, the crosshairs of the multi-function sight caught the side of the target's turret.
At this time, the German Tiger tank selected as the target 800 meters away also discovered the approaching giant panda, so it hurriedly turned its turret to prepare for a fight.
"Hit" Wen Zecheng shouted, and the gunner quickly pressed the firing button.
"Boom" the 105mm smoothbore cannon sprayed out a burst of orange flames, and the tail-stabilized sabot armor-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle at a muzzle velocity of 1,600 meters per second and headed straight for the target.
Almost instantly, the shell hit the target, completely ignoring the opponent's external reactive armor, and plunged into the middle of the car from the bottom of the turret side.
This is the perfect combination of the skills developed by officers and soldiers in their daily practice of "drift shooting" and high-tech products.
There was a loud "boom", and the ammunition inside the Tiger exploded.
The entire tank was like an erupting volcano, with countless flames erupting from every opening such as the muzzle, observation window, and breach.
The next moment, the huge shock wave blew the entire turret away.
"Wow, hit," the crew members cheered, and then Wen Zecheng shouted: "3 o'clock, 680 meters, Hans Meow is going fast, evade to the left."
At the same time, he also quickly turned the turret , aiming at the Panther tank preparing for a sneak attack.
The driver turned the steering wheel fiercely.
The fly-by-wire operating system and the new suspension steering system made the 45-ton behemoth as agile as a cat.
The special tracks made only a small friction sound, and the giant panda No. 27930 drifted to the left. , aim the thickest front at the enemy.
Almost at the same time, the gunner tapped the loading button with his left hand, and the automatic loader immediately sent a fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing round into the gun bore.
The gun bolt closed with a click, and then the firing button was pressed.
To evade, aim, and counterattack, the whole set of actions of the crew is as smooth and coordinated as one person.
"Boom" the two tanks opened fire almost at the same time.
There was a loud and ear-piercing "clang", and the No. 27930 car shook violently.
The Panther's 100mm armor-piercing projectile hit its front armor.

However, that was all.
This ordinary armor-piercing projectile failed in the face of the new composite armor and only made a small crater in the giant panda's face.
Almost at the same moment, the giant panda's armor-piercing bullet also hit the front of the leopard.
The effect of this shot was completely different.
It penetrated the Panther's frontal armor in one fell swoop, leaving a hole as big as a bowl.
"Boom!"
After a loud noise, the unfortunate Leopard turned into a burning torch, with blazing flames and billowing black smoke erupting from every opening in it.
Not only was No. 27930 so brave, but the entire 35 Giant Pandas of the 1st Armored Battalion performed invincibly, rushing left and right in the East African tank group like tigers among sheep.
Although the number of East African tanks is nearly three times theirs, they appear to be powerless to fight back.
Although the caliber of the Giant Panda's 105mm main gun is not as good as the Tiger's 128mm, the effect of the two is reversed.
The Giant Panda's 105mm cannon can easily penetrate the thick-skinned Tiger, but the Tiger's 128mm cannon is helpless against the Giant Panda.
Not to mention that the frontal armor is completely immune, even the side armor cannot penetrate.
As for the Leopard's 100mm cannon, it is even more itchy for the giant panda.
Well, probably only the armor at the back can be penetrated, but they can't find a chance to try.
The giant pandas, which are about the same size as them, are much more flexible than them, and their speed is more than twice as fast.
Such terrifying maneuverability , not even the Panther can compare.
It would be great if the Tigers can guarantee that the giant panda will not get behind them.
How can they get behind the giant panda?
"It won't work, it won't work.
The Chinese tanks are too strong and they can't be hit at all."
"It's fake, armored combat vehicles can also drift" "No. 28 was destroyed."
"I'm surrounded, come and help me" The combat channel of the 4th East African Armored Battalion sounded the panicked voices of various vehicle crews.
"Release the smoke quickly, retreat quickly."
Major Muller, the battalion commander, saw that the situation was not good and quickly ordered a retreat.
The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and more than half of the enemy's vehicles were destroyed, while only two of the opponent's vehicles had their tracks broken and were lying on the ground.
The rest seemed to be fine.
This is a shame As a result, the remaining less than forty Tigers and Leopards quickly released smoke and reversed to exit the battlefield.
They didn't dare to turn around.
If they tried to turn around at this time, not only would they not have enough time, but they would also be blown away by their opponents.
The armor on the back is the weakest part, and it is definitely not a pleasant thing to have your anus exploded.
But it is not easy to retreat.
The speed of giant pandas is much faster than them.
As for the smoke they release to cover themselves, it may be useful for other tanks, but it is of no use to giant pandas with multiple detection instruments.
If optical aiming doesn't work, you can also switch to infrared or ultraviolet, or even radar aiming.
Seeing their opponents retreating, the giant pandas, who were eager to kill, immediately gave up and chased after them.
"Boom boom boom" "Da da da da da da" The roars of the 105mm tank cannon and the 12mm machine gun intertwined in the air.
The giant pandas were like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep, rushing into the fleeing enemy group, and started killing unscrupulously.
In the end, only six faster Panther tanks escaped, and the remaining 92 Tigers and Leopards all became the victims of the Chinese armored forces.
This was due to the large troops from East Africa arriving for support.
When the giant pandas saw that there were too many of them, they stopped chasing them and turned around.
Provisional headquarters of the 118th Armored Division.
It is said to be a command headquarters, but it is actually made up of two command vehicles.
This "Baize-style" command vehicle adopts a modular design and can be unfolded into a camping state, or many vehicles can be put together to become a large field command vehicle. center.
At this time, the screen was showing the new army route of the Germans, oh, the First Armored Army of East Africa.
The blue arrow representing them was suddenly inserted from central Kenya into southern Ethiopia, with almost no pause in the middle.

"Wait, how did the Germans come?
I remember, didn't the Allies put three divisions on the Sardindida plain?
They also built so many fortifications, how come they were broken through by the Germans in less than a day?"
Wang Yaowu looked more and more something was definitely wrong. , asked with a black line on his face: "What do these guys do for food?"
From the schematic diagram on the screen, it can be seen that the First East African Armored Corps seemed to have encountered no obstacles.
They only stayed at the heavily guarded Sardindida defense line for less than 72 hours.
"Ah, from the report, it seems that the Allied colonial forces were defeated after resisting for less than two days.
Note that this was only caused by a vanguard armored brigade.
Before the large forces behind them came up, the Allied forces The colonial army can no longer be found."
Huang Rixuan also looked helpless.
He also didn't expect that these black men would be defeated so quickly.
"Oh my god" Wang Yaowu didn't even know what to say.
The Allied Forces' performance was so incredible that it once again broke the lower limit of combat effectiveness in his mind.
"Three divisions, fifty thousand people, and complete defenses were killed by an armored brigade in less than three days."
Wang Yaowu's eyes twitched.
After a while, he choked out a sentence: "These Even if 50,000 pigs are released for the Germans to catch, they won’t be able to catch them all in three days.”
His classic rant finally appeared, but the target was changed to the British African colonial troops.
In the original time and space, he was used to criticize his pig teammates.
However, this is a thing of the past.
No matter how bad the British colonial troops are, now that the Germans have arrived, it has become his business.
"Report, division commander.
The first armored battalion of our division exchanged fire with the enemy's vanguard half an hour ago, and the battle is now over."
A staff officer reported: "Preliminary statistics, our side has destroyed a total of 92 enemy armored fighting vehicles, a total of 48 Types and 44 Panthers captured 38 enemy crew members."
Wang Yaowu quickly asked: "Where are our losses?"
"Two Giant Pandas had their tracks blown off, one had its sighting system destroyed, and a total of three vehicles temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.
A total of four crew members were injured, all of them were minor injuries, and the problems are not major."
"Hurry up and order the first battalion to return as soon as possible.
They have completed their mission, and other battalions will take over."
Wang Yaowu was a little anxious.
"Yes."
The staff officer didn't think much about it.
Although the first battalion still had considerable combat effectiveness, he thought that Wang Yaowu was planning to let other battalions go up to gain some results.
It is certainly a good thing that the second prince wants to go to the front line for gold plating, but we cannot let anything happen to him.
This kind of thing is really difficult to handle, and the scale must be just right.
Lao Wang felt that his head was several times bigger.
Originally, according to Lao Wang's idea, it would be the safest for the prince to stay with him.
So he was in the first battalion and followed the division headquarters, but when the scout battle started, the prince insisted on going to the front line to join the battle, and he also wanted to be a vanguard.
He couldn't force this kind of thing, so it was really difficult.
Huang Rixuan came over and whispered: "Old Wang, don't worry, the first battalion is the trump card of our division, and it uses the most advanced giant pandas.
The Germans' knockoffs can't even penetrate the side, let alone the first group and the third group.
The whole group also went up.”
Regarding the fact that the Second Prince was serving in the 118th Division, only a dozen people in the entire division knew about it, and they were all officers at regiment level or above.
The battalion officers may have some guesses, but they are not sure.
The staff officer just now ran back: "Division commander, the first battalion reports that they are exchanging fire with the enemy and cannot withdraw temporarily."
"What's going on?

Didn't they break out of contact just now?"
Wang Yaowu was sweating.
"Two tanks had their tracks broken by the enemy's hidden death squads.
In order to cover the retreat of their comrades, the first battalion stopped for a while, and then exchanged fire with the main enemy force that was pursuing them."
"Bastard" Wang Yaowu quickly ran to the central intelligence display screen and looked at it.
Sure enough, sixty kilometers ahead, about thirty red cursors were mixed with about two hundred blue cursors.
He took a closer look and found that car No. 27930 was still alive and kicking, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How long will it take for the first and third regiments to arrive?"
he asked, looking at the large red cursor that was still more than 20 kilometers away.
"There are about fifteen minutes left, and they are already at top speed."
"Call the joint land and air attack aircraft groups immediately and ask them to be ready for reinforcements at any time."
"Division Commander, didn't you say that the Army Aviation and Air Force will not be allowed to intervene unless there is an emergency?"
the staff officer asked with a confused look on his face.
Because in his opinion, although his own tank group seems to be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, it is only surrounded.
The opponent cannot attack it for a while, and it is not considered a crisis at all.
Besides, haven't the reinforcements already passed?
Why?
And the beasts of the Army Aviation and Air Force intervened.
"Idiot.
It's an emergency to mount a horse now.
Why don't you go quickly?"
Wang Yaowu scolded angrily.
He immediately picked up the phone again: "Second regiment?
Hurry up and support the first battalion without any loss."
"Yes, the second regiment will go immediately."
Hu Lian received the call and took action immediately
